NATION WIDE RAID BY GOVERNMENT Simultaneous Arrests in 22 States of 173 Physicians, Women . and Druggists Alleged to Have Misused Mails in Con- nection With Criminal Practices—Cases Worked Up by Postoffice Inspectors During the Past Seven Months. ‘Wastiington, Nov. 20.—A nation wide raid involving the arrest practically simultaneously of 173 persons in the Dmclw eitles of the country was today by postoffice ' inspéctors and Upited States marshals upon doc- tors and drug concerns, charged with misdSe of the mails to soligit crim- inal medical praetice, or to Gispose of 3:““ and instruments connected such practice. Roundup a Complete Smccess. The raid, the most extensive and far ever made by any depart- ment of the government, was under the direction of Postmaster General Hitohcock and Chief Inspec- tor Robert S. Sharp of the postoffice department. So carefully had its de- tails been guarded that umtil the first of the arrests were made at Indian- apolis esrly in the day practically nothing was kmown of the govern- ment’s contemplated action. Working with clock-Hke precision, the inspec- tion force, spread over 22 states, car- ried out the pre-arranged plans, and, at ap eariy hour tonight, the postofii¢g department has received word that practically all the desigmated persons bad been arrested. Seme Arrests Duferred. The resulis of the ¢rusade are still belng received tonight by the inspec- toks’ division of the pestoffice depart- ment In the form of dozens of tele- grams from various divisional head- quarters, In isolated imstances it was found for various reasons to be im- practicable to effect the arrests, but that syspected persons against whom warrants have been issueqd are under survefflance and probably will be un- able to escape. Worked Up for Seven Months. Chiet Inspector Sharpe and a large of his force of 390 inspectors had for seven months, un- der the orders of the postmaster gen- eral, in working up the scores of in- dividoal cases, in which arrests were made today. Many of those taken in- to custody were members of promi- nent wholesale and retail drug con- certis, or physicians well known in their own communities. The government will prosecute the cases vigorously, according to a state- ment by Postmaster General Hitchcock tenight. GCuimination of Two Years’ Crusade. “The work of the postoffice inspec- tors today is the culmination of the crusade instituted more than two yests ago against the fraudulent and unlawful use of the mails,” said Mr. Titeheock, “In that comparatively brief time we hawe wiped out of ex- {#tence concerns which have muicted péople of this country out of more t] $100,000,000 by frauds perpetrat- ed through the use of the mails, and the courts have sent many of the pro- meoters of the fraudulemt schemes to the tentiary, where they are now time. The wide publicity giv- en to the arrests made today will do mere to put an end to this particular soyt of criminality than any number of practically unknown prosecutions of widely separated cases.” Violation of Section 211, All of the arrests are to be made for alleged violation of section 211, of the penal code of the Uniteq States, which bars from the mafls any vile or obscene matter, whether sealed or un- séaled; and advertisements, letters or ciréular proposing or suggesting crim- inal practices; or any packet contain- ing any substance, drug or thing im- tended to be used for immoral or unlawful purposes. Many Are “Pill Dootors.” Approximately 20 per cent, of those arrested today are so-called “pill doc- tare”~-men who advertise their prec- tice by correspondence or otherwise— and send to th®&ir patients, either by malil or by express, various compounds in the form of pills or powders, Care- ful analysis of these compounds by the government authorities is said to have disclosed that some of them are wholly inocuous, while others -are dangerous poisons. Under another section of the penal code, the sending of poisons through the mails is ex- pressly forbidden. Man and Woman at 8t. Louis. St. Louis, Nov. 20.—A woman was arrested today and a warrant was is- sued against the manager of a drug company in the postoffice department crusade. A Sunday School Superintendent. Holden, Mo., Nov. 20.—The arrest here today of Dr. Edward Andruss, in connection with the postal depart- ment's crusade agalnst allegel illegal medical practices, caused a sensation in this quiet community.

ETTOR CASE MAY REACH JURY FRIDAY. Precautions Taken to Prevent Demon- stration When Jury Reports. Salem, Mass., Nov. 20.—City Mar- shal Lehan today completed plans to prevent any outbreak or demonstra- tion which might occur here when the jury returns a verdict in the trial of Joseph 'J.

As the case nears a conclusion, in- terest increases among the frienas of the defendants, particularly the work- ers in Lawrence and surrounding cities, and today many who sought admission to the courthouse were turned away because of lack of room. Owing to the circulation of incen- dlary literature, much of it among the foreign - workers in this vicinity, crit- icizing the trial of the defendants, and to a previous demonstration at the courthouse several weeks ago, the local authorities will take extraordinary precautions for the end of the trial Police will be stationed around the courthouse and In streets approaching it to prevent the assembling of any crowds and no overcrowding of the courtroom will be permitted.
